But we made it through those years. I was SO relieved when, as a young adult, Marshall asked me one day if I had ever listened to The Beatles. Whew! Now there was some music I knew about! He went on to discover the likes of CCR, Charlie Daniels, Bob Dylan, The Lemon Pipers…. And he also introduced me to music by The Band and Grateful Dead, among others.

Then, around 2002, Marshall discovered the jam band, Phish, and became a fan. This picture was taken in front of Hampton Coliseum, one of the favorite venues for the band and their fans.

Although Phish now takes top billing as Marshall’s musical preference, he still likes that “old time rock and roll”.

Look at him stand on those tip-tip-tippy toes! I will have to ask D1 and D2 about Phish. The only Phish I know is Ben and Jerry’s Phish Food.

btw As my sister and I got into the car last week to pick up the kids from visiting another tourist spot, she asked “What is that?” SIL had left the radio on, and both sister and I just couldn’t recognize what was playing. Sigh, too.

Glad you are republishing, since I wasn’t on facebook at that time:) Great post! Our company’s Director of IT is a solid Phish fan as well…so whenever I see Marshall’s cap – it always reminds me of Phil…who by the way is an awesome guy!

Marshall went
full circle! Music has always played a big part of my life. I can’t clean without some good dance music. I can’t paint without calming music. We’ve always had music playing with dinner and how can you drive a car without music? But my favorite thing to do is dance which is hard to do without music!

Both of these bands are so great..
And I’ve even see Phish tackle a couple of Beatles songs at concerts before; tricky ones, too.. the kind that the Beatles wouldn’t even have tried live 😉
… & some of the best music ever came out of the 50’s and 60’s !
